Smad3 phosphorylation is similarly increased in diabetic mouse islets undergoing β-cell apoptosis. In mice, β-cell-specific activation of Smad3 promotes apoptosis and loss of β-cell mass in association with β-cell dysfunction, glucose intolerance, and diabetes. In contrast, inactive Smad3 protects from apoptosis and preserves β-cell mass while improving β-cell function and glucose tolerance. At the molecular level, Smad3 associates with Foxo1 to propagate TGF-β-dependent β-cell apoptosis. Indeed, genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of T
